Football Special Report: Flop players of Serie A round 19
Another day full of action in Serie A. Where the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Cambiasso-c12912 dazzled for their teams, there were some who failed to turn up – their presence only favoured the opposition.
Bettor.com now identifies the players who made headlines for ugly reasons:
Daniele Bonera (AC Milan)
Rossoneri were without the legendary http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 in the heart of AC Milan defence. Needless to say, Massimiliano Allegri was
left praying for Nesta’s recovery.
The former Parma defender was downright atrocious. Where his game reading abilities were severely tested – he failed – the defender’s poor positioning resulted in three goals. The likes of Di Natale and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 ran rings around the AC Milan no. 25.
Simply put, it was a night to forget for the much maligned centre back.
Juan (AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603)
Just what happened to the usually classy Brazilian is beyond comprehension. Claudio Ranieri had decided to rest the fan favourite for this game as Mexes and Nicolas Burdisso started the game. However, Mexes complaint of a muscular problem at the end of the
first half and Ranieri decided to play it safe; Juan replaced the Frenchman at the start of the second half.
With Gilarossi leading 1 – 0, Juan played a weak back pass to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicola-Pozzi-c27763
scored one gem of a penalty to restore scoring parity, but the worst was yet to come.
With Blucerchiati smelling blood, Juan made a hash of simplest of clearances and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stefano-Guberti-c34051 duly won the game for struggling Sampdoria – final score line read 2 – 1.
Zdenek Grygera (Juventus FC)
Juventus’ fullback woes are no secret, if anything, they are well documented. Luigi Del Neri has rotated his wing backs on a permanent basis looking for a performer, but to no avail. Last night, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zdenek-Grygera-c37855 was given the green light to start at the right
back berth. Del Neri was made to rue his decision.
It was a nightmare outing for the Czech defender. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Dossena-c5683, of all people, gave him a torrid time. Where Grygera’s was a wreck in defence, he also went missing in the attack.
Bianconeri’s inability to strengthen their wide areas – both the full back and advanced positions – will cost them a Champions League place. However, winter transfer market is still open and Luigi Del Neri will have his scouts lurking around for talent.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hernanes-c16150 (SS Lazio)
Aquile have been a resurgent force this season and much of the credit lies with this Brazilian stalwart. It just wasn’t his night on Sunday. The usually unstoppable Hernanes had a miserable outing where nothing seemed to work for him. The fact that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775
were playing Lecce at home; team with the worst defensive record in the league, and still managed to lose the game adds further shame to a dismal performance.
Hernanes was supposed to be their talisman, their inspiration, but he simply failed them.
